<p>Major life changes, such as getting married, buying or selling a house, or changing jobs, can have a big impact on your income tax. When changes like these happen, it's a great time to review your tax situation. It's also a good idea to review your tax situation a few times during the year even if you don't have any major changes. This can help you stay in control of your tax planning and avoid surprises at the end of the year. Be sure you're using the best filing status for your situation. Then, make sure Money is set up to accurately reflect your current situation. Finally, use the Tax Estimator to project your tax liability based on your new information.</p>
